Bubur: Indonesian Black Rice Pudding

On these cold nights it's nice to have a bit of pudding... with the price of bananas through the roof this usually cheap dish is becoming a luxury... luckily it still tastes great on it's own. I prefer it with tangy mango slices when they're in season.

Method:1. Drain rice and bring to the boil in a pot with 6 cups of water.2. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally until the rice is soft.3. Add the sugar, pandan essence and extra cup water, stir until sugar dissolves.4. Take off the stove and chill in a bowl or individual ramekins. (May also be eaten warm or hot)1. In another pot simmer the coconut milk and pinch of salt till thickened. Cool.6. Serve a few of spoonfuls of rice pudding topped with the coconut milk and garnish.

To make palm sugar syrup: Dissolve 1/2 cup of palm sugar with 1/2 cup water in a pot over a low heat. Serve hot or cold over the pudding.
